Well, I hope he's going to get along with Syria because the new president of Syria is working very hard to do a good job.

He really is.

I know he's a tough cookie, and he's, you know, you're not going to get a choir boy to lead Syria.

That's the one thing I would say.

So I hope they're going to get along because, you know, I dropped the sanctions on Syria because otherwise they wouldn't have had a chance.

We want to see Syria survive.

Mr. President, the honor of us from Channel 12th News, what are your plans regarding Gaza for the next few weeks?

Well, we're going to be dealing on Gaza. That's why this very great prime minister is here right now. We're talking about Gaza.

We're talking about a lot of things. We have about five major subjects that we're discussing,

and Gaza will be one of those subjects. It's a very good group. We made a lot of progress already.

We had about a five-minute meeting, and we've already settled about three of the difficulties.

So thank you very much for being here.

We talked about Hamas, and we talked about disarmament.

And they're going to be given a very short period of time to disarm.

And we'll see how that works out.

Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner will be in charge of that from our side.

But if they don't disarm as they agreed to do, they agreed to it, and then they'll be held to pay

for them. And we don't want that. We're not looking for that. But they have to disarm within a fairly

short period of time.

President, if you don't see Hamas disarm in that short amount of time they're giving them,

can you tell us what the next steps would be?

It'll be horrible for them. Horrible.
